Capita Horrorscope FK - 2011

/images/brands/capita/logo/capita_logo.gif

Everything about the Horrorscope FK screams bendy jib stick. From the minimal 420 glass which has 50 gram weight glass at 90 degrees to the board length, to the pressure bonded wood composite core and the Urban FK rockered nose and tail; the Horrorscope is designed to push through the most angular kinks and press on the roughest concrete ledges.

Manufacturer's Description:

The Horrorscope FK was born as a late release limited edition board and is now one of the most sought after boards in snowboarding. Featuring pre-loaded positioning for expert level jibbers, and easy turnin’, mindless ‘shreddin’ for those intermediate riders that want to expedite the learning curve. The demand was so strong we made multiple production runs and still sold out before a single chairlift opened in North America. Transworld SNOWboarding Magazine’s 2010 test results held the Horrorscope FK as the #3 men’s board in the world under $400, while it beat nine of the top ten boards on price. For 2010, we’ve responded to overwhelming demand by adding three more key sizes. The Horrorscope FK takes no effort! Stable at high speeds! Perfect for hangovers! Jib like a mad man!

What colour is powder?

How will this hAndle jumps? Pipe? Powder?

Rich Ewbank on November 29, 2010 at 09:43 AM

I think as long as the jumps you plan to hit are small, you’ll have no problems on the horrorscope. Pipe and powder… no way hosay. The Shayboarder reviewed this years Horrorscope it’s worth checking out her review before you invest.

How’s the FK for spinning on the nose and tail compared to scooped nose/tail or TBT?

Is it also good for ollies/nollies?

this is a response to riding pow…IT RIDES POWDER EXCEPTIONALLY!!!

I rocked this deck for 2 years. All though it is useless for cliffs or big anything I rocked it in the back country every time I went. I rode Tryst Chutes on a 3.5 ft pow day down 50 degree chutes and the float was unmatched cause of the super soft slightly reversed camber. Great for jibs to..shitty for jumps, cliffs, or anything you need something stiff underfoot. I will say this board made me super lazy and its been hard going back to a “real” snowboard

I agree with the comments below, about riding pow. I rode the 2012 FK horrorscope this season in ischgl and it was awesome in pow. I was on a 147 as its my park board, as my t rice went in for a service on the day it had dumped the night before, so I took the capita out, off piste, with all my mates on there pow boards. Let me tell you it was awesome, better than my 2012 T rice, to the point where I sold it when I got back, as the capita was a better all rounder. Sure it ain’t the most stable off the Large kickers, but for manoverability, fun, presses, jibs it rocks. I reckon if I’d have been on a 53 it would have handled the jumps too.

To be on the safe side in 2013 go for something that capita does in a 5 stiffness rating, stairmaster etc, as the horrorscopes a 3, something with the flat kick base, and this will be the only board you need.

In the past 3 seasons I riden a 2010 banana, a 2012 T Rice Ltd, capita horrorscope and a burton custom flying v and I think the capita is the best board iv riden. Better edge hold, so much fun to ride, handles speed.
